Performance: The Jester!<\/strong>
\nLet yourself be swept away by an intimate and evocative performance full of fantasy and wonder. The Jester amuses himself with games and drink, but as soon as he dozes off, a small dream world unfolds, filled with extraordinary puppetry. What follows is a surprising metamorphosis, featuring wondrous mime and playful movements in the tradition of Pulcinella. Everything you see is handmade: from puppets and costumes to props, all in a medieval atmosphere. <\/p>\n

Or rather, all the kids are going to do that. Because the professor is busy dusting off the castle\u2019s centuries-old magic potion machine. In the past, the castle\u2019s inhabitants used it to make themselves invisible, become invincible, or fly on a witch\u2019s broom. And the professor and the children are going to try that again.

          Help Build the LEGO Castle <\/strong><\/p>\n

          Muiderslot Castle has stood here for over seven hundred years. Over that time, the castle has been rebuilt, renovated, and expanded many times: from a military fortress to a luxurious residence and, finally, the museum it is today. During your visit, you\u2019ll discover traces of 700 years of construction everywhere. And\u2026 the master builder could use some help! He once started building the castle but ran out of time. Who will help him finish the job? And while you\u2019re at it, why not design the Muiderslot\u2019s gardens too! <\/p>\n
